Description

The present invention relates to a chestnut skin peeling tool for peeling chestnuts, and particularly to a chestnut skin peeling tool that can easily and quickly peel boiled chestnuts.

Chestnuts, the representative flavor of autumn, are used in a wide variety of ways, including roasted chestnuts, boiled chestnuts, chestnut rice, and as an ingredient in cakes. However, in order to eat chestnuts, the hard skin and astringent skin must be peeled off.

In the case of raw chestnuts, a knife was used to peel off the skin and astringent skin from the surrounding area. Also, when boiling chestnuts, the skin becomes a little soft, so I used the corner of a knife to make an incision in the skin, and then used my fingernails to peel it.

Furthermore, there is a chestnut peeler conventionally used for peeling the outer skin and astringent skin of chestnuts (for example, see Patent Document 1).

The chestnut peeler of Patent Document 1 mentioned above has a first blade portion formed with a single edge, a second blade portion formed with a single edge shorter than the first blade portion, and a blade of the second blade portion. The chestnut mounting part is attached to the front side at a substantially right angle to the back of the blade, and is also attached from the base side to the edge side so that the cutting edge side approaches the cutting edge, and on which the chestnuts are placed. The blade base side of the first blade part and the second blade part is used as an opening/closing fulcrum and can be opened and closed into an open state where the blade edges are separated from each other and a closed state where the blade edges are overlapped.

The chestnut peeler disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a peeler for peeling raw chestnuts, and is not suitable for peeling boiled chestnuts. Furthermore, the overall structure is complicated, resulting in high manufacturing costs.

Therefore, in view of the above points, the present invention is characterized by providing a chestnut skin peeling tool that can easily and quickly peel the skins of boiled chestnuts, especially the bitter skin and the astringent skin.

means to solve the solution

In order to solve the above problems, the chestnut peeling tool of the present invention includes a first gripping part, a second gripping part, and the first gripping part provided at the tips of the first gripping part and the second gripping part. and a connecting portion rotatably connecting the first gripping portion and the first gripping portion; The present invention is characterized by comprising a holding part and a second holding part formed in the second gripping part and having an opening for holding a part of the chestnut.

Furthermore, a peeling part that is inserted into the cut of the chestnut was formed at the base end of the first gripping part and/or the second gripping part.

Furthermore, a cover body that covers the cutter may be attached to the first holding part.

Effect of invention

With the first gripping part and the second gripping part open, place a chestnut in the opening of the second holding part, close the first gripping part and the second gripping part together, and use a cutter to peel the chestnut. A cut can be made in a part of the .

In addition, by boiling the chestnuts with cuts made, and then inserting a peeling part into the cuts and peeling off the skin, the bitter skin and bitter skin can be easily and quickly peeled off.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the chestnut skin peeling tool of the present invention. It is a perspective view showing the back of the chestnut peeling tool. FIG. 3 is a side view of the chestnut skin peeling tool. This is a state in which the first grip part is opened. This is a state in which the first gripping portion is closed. It is a sectional view of a state in which cuts are made in the demon skin and the astringent skin. The shape of the cutter which is another suitable example is shown. The shape of the cutter which is another suitable example is shown. The cover body is shown attached near the cutter. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which a peeling part is inserted into a cut in a chestnut.

The present invention is a chestnut peeling tool for peeling chestnuts, and is particularly capable of easily and quickly peeling the skins of boiled chestnuts.
Hereinafter, details of the chestnut skin peeling tool will be explained based on the drawings.

The chestnut peeling tool 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes a first gripping part 10, a second gripping part 20, and a first gripping part provided at the tips of the first gripping part 10 and the second gripping part 20. The body part 2 is made up of a connecting part 3 that rotatably connects the part 10 and the second gripping part 20, and the chestnut skin and astringent skin formed on the first gripping part 10 are cut. The first holding part 11 is equipped with a cutter 12 for cutting, and the second holding part 21 is formed in the second gripping part 20 and has an opening 22 for holding a part of the chestnut. .

The first grip part 10 is made of metal such as stainless steel, and has a long flat plate shape. Further, a first holding portion 11 is formed near the connecting portion 3. This first holding part 11 has a spoon shape that is curved upward, and a cutter 12 is attached to the inner surface (recessed part).

The second grip part 20 is made of metal such as stainless steel, and has a long flat plate shape. Further, a second holding portion 21 is formed near the connecting portion 3. This first holding part 21 has a spoon shape that is curved downward, and has an opening 22 bored in the substantially central part.

In particular, a peeling part 23 that is inserted into the cut 31 of the chestnut 30 is connected to the base end of the first grip part 10 and/or the second grip part 20 (second grip part 20 in the figure). This peeling portion 23 is slightly narrower than the second gripping portion 20 and is formed in a thin shape.

As another preferred example, a cover body 13 that covers the cutter 12 may be attached to the first holding part 11 as shown in FIG. The cover body 13 is made of a flexible material, and a notch 14 is provided in a portion where the blade of the cutter 12 is placed.

Note that the shape of the cutter 12 is not limited to the curved shape shown in the figure, but may be a triangular shape with a pointed tip as shown in FIG. 7, or a shape with a horizontal blade surface as shown in FIG. .

Next, a method of using the chestnut skin peeling tool of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.
First, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the first gripping part 10 is pulled up centering on the connecting part 3. Then, the chestnut 30 is placed in the opening 22 of the second holding part 21.

In this state, as shown in FIG. 5, the first grip part 10 is pulled down. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, cuts 31 can be made in the skin 32 and skin 33 of the chestnut 30 using the cutter 12.

Chestnuts 30 are boiled in the usual manner with cuts 31 made in the demon skin 32 and astringent skin 33. Then, an appropriate amount of moisture infiltrates through the cut 31 between the astringent skin 32 and the astringent skin 33, and also enters between the astringent skin 33 and the fruit 34.

The peeling part 23 is inserted into the cut 31 of the boiled chestnut 30 as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. Further, as shown in FIG. 12, hold the demon skin 32 with your fingers and peel the demon skin 32 and the astringent skin 33 using the peeling section 23. At this time, since an appropriate amount of moisture has entered between the astringent skin 33 and the fruit 34, the astringent skin 33 and the astringent skin 32 can be peeled at the same time.

Note that by forming the first gripping part 10 to have the same length as the second gripping part 20 including the peeling part 23, the end part of the first gripping part 10 and the peeling part 23 can form the skin 32. and the astringent skin 33 can be sandwiched between them, making it more convenient.

With the above structure, the chestnut skin peeling tool of the present invention can easily and quickly peel the skins (demon skin and astringent skin) of boiled chestnuts.
